A method of preserving an article which includes enclosing the article and an oxygen absorbent parcel in a container having gas-barrier properties and sealing the container. The parcel is formed by packing an oxygen absorbent composition with a gas permeable packing material, the oxygen absorbent composition containing an linear hydrocarbon polymer having one or more unsaturated groups or a mixture of the polymer with an unsaturated fatty acid compound, an oxidation promoter, a basic substance and an adsorption substance.

Method of preserving article with an oxygen absorbent composition

A process for the production of a fine powder suitable for use in the fields of electronic materials, catalysts, powder metallurgy, pigments and adsorbens. The powder has a primary particle diameter of not more than 0.5 .mu.m, an average secondary aggregate particle diameter of not more than 10 .mu.m and a secondary aggregate particle specific surface area of 2 to 250 m.sup.2 /g, and is produced by a process comprising heating an organic acid metal salt in the presence of palladium, which lowers the thermal decomposition temperature of the salt, at a temperature elevation rate of 0.5.degree. to 20.degree.C./minute and thermally decomposing the organic acid metal salt in the presence of the palladium in the temperature range of not higher than 400.degree.C.

Process for the production of fine powder

A process for producing a copper fine powder, which comprises thermally decomposing anhydrous copper formate in a solid phase in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature in the range of from 150.degree. to 300.degree. C., thereby yielding a copper fine powder having a primary particle diameter of from 0.2 to 1 .mu.m, a specific surface area of from 5 to 0.5 m.sup.2 /g and small agglomerating properties, said anhydrous copper formate being an anhydrous copper formate powder 90 wt % or more of which undergoes thermal decomposition within a temperature range of from 160.degree. to 200.degree. C. when the anhydrous copper formate powder is heated in a nitrogen or hydrogen gas atmosphere at a heating rate of 3.degree. C./min.
